King Features Syndicate is the name of the company that syndicated the Scamp
newspaper strip to newspapers. Thus this tells you the Scamp story was a
newspaper strip reprint.

Easy-to-use Taliaferro index
The Inducks should work as such an index, but I'm not sure.
TRYG
Thanks for the adresses, I'll check them.
> The mad quote
Oh, well, Maybe I saw the quote here and then asked, I'm not sure. I
joined the list as soon as i was connected online from home, and that
was summer 1998.
Before that i didn't even now that one could get a free email at
certain places.
Scientific comic-fans.
We could make a survey here? How many of you read both (Duck) comics
and science fiction.
I am one of them. As I see Jules verne as the father of the genre, and
I've read a bunch of other SF-books too.
Another nice quote at the end. this time I haven't got an idea where it
comes from...
MORTEN
Thanks for reseaching the road-question in the Norwegian weekly,
Meantime I asked the danish translator, and he is the man. he told me
that he used the Boulevard name 3 times before. (Myckey Mysteries
95-11, AA96-48 and AE 97-02 to the interested parts). I still think
it's a very nice tribute, and am sorry that I hadn't noticed it before.
I remember that a map of Duckburg came out in 1998 and it must have
been too old as this Boulevard wasn't on... To defence themselves back
then, they of course said that "Duckburg is a city under development,
so don't be surprised if new roads suddenly turns up."
One thing is sure though: In danish comics Donald lives on a street
called Paradise Aple Road. I don't know for how long he has lived
there, and I wonder if the gladstone, or maybe Barks had certain
charecter living on certain roads, for many years?
PS: I know what you refer too, and I hope the involved norwegian will
sometime forgive me. I haven't even read the faq for the newsgroup we
are both in.

Hi! and I think it's nice to see you her, as I haven't seen you here

When Don Rosa contributes here the next time, if he hasn't allready by
now, you'll be able to see his adress in the adress-field, it's that
simple:-)

Thank you so much for translating those big editorials. I have the

The classic answer to such a question here is: what you yourself think
it's worth.
I already have the story myself, so I wouldn't be intreested. try
selling it at an auction-page.
ARTHUR
again, an auction-page would be the right choice (maybe ebay?). or
perhaps www.brucehamilton.co (The page where galdstone is also
situated), you can find

Hi!
Is the Romano Scarpa-story you talk about coming in our weeklies?! Wow,
I must have been sleeping, that sounds great.

Duckhunt is not completely up to date about that issue at the moment,
but
the Coin was published in France, and Attaaaack is on the way in
Frence.
Don told me in private what he's working on, but we'd better ask if he
wasnt
the list to know:-)

12 known copies?

Hoi,
Someone is selling a copy of Uncle Scrooge #159 on eBay and claims something
wrong, in my opinion. The auction reads the following:
"Michael Naiman wrote an excellent article on this book for Comic Book
Marketplace a while back, and has since conducted an informal census on the
ownership of Uncle Scrooge #179, and has stated that there are 12 KNOWN
COPIES. This is perhaps the BEST EXAMPLE of this RARE BOOK."
You can find it at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=244553132
I don't think it's accurate to say that the census on this mailing list,
that he is probably talking about, means that there are only 12 known copies
of the comic in the whole world!!
Greetings,

Influence of HD&L on society
Message 155 -

Hoi,
yesterday I picked up a copy of a book entitled "Het Duckdenken"
(="Duckthinking"). The cover says: "The influence of Huey, Duey and Louie on
our society". I haven't read it completely yet. It was written by Michiel
Hegener, published by Contact Uitgeverij (ISBN 90 254 9884 1).
The back of the book reads: (translated from Dutch):
"Most of the people who currently have top-positions in the Netherlands grew
up in the 50s and 60s and were reading Donald Duck. In the Donald Duck
weekly magazine it is the children that are experts, wise and smart, and it
is the adults that make blunders. The nephews of Donald Duck seem to be a
very important role model for the managing generation of today. The analysis
of Michiel Hegener shows that the entire policy for the scientific and
business world has roots in the ideas of Huey, Duey and Louie. [...] That
not many people talk about this is easy to explain: which minister,
industrial worker or professor has the courage to explain his work with a
pile of Donald Ducks? Huey, Duey and Louie play a key part in the "how &
why" of our society. Their influence is noticeable on many levels: from the
organisation-advisors to girlpower. In "Duckthinking", Hegener exposes the
far-reaching influence of the nephews."
It's a little bit far-fetched and weird, but interesting and funny. The book
is based on Carl Barks' world and is illustrated with pictures of his
stories.

Here's what's in the February issue of Komix:
* The cover is from WDC&S #629 by Michael Nadorp. You can find a scan of this
cover at http://dias.cti.gr/~kyrimis/pics/komix140.jpg
* An article about the Orient Express, titled "The Legend of the
Orient Express", subtitled "Travel in the Belle Epoque with the train
of adventure and mystery".
* "Scandal on the Epoch Express" (H9347), with script attributed
to Jan Kruse and David Gerstein and art attributed to Bas Heymas [sic].
[According to Gladstone's credits, David wrote the American script,
and Bas Heymans only penciled the story.]
* An interview with Don Rosa titled "The Back Stage of a Story", subtitled
"_Komix_ talks to Don Rosa about luck, the ducks, and Barks. Reading the
interview, I was surprised to learn (knowing Don, perhaps I shouldn't have
been) that "distelfink" is not a silly word he made up! [Yes, I will be
translating the article.]
* Don Rosa's "The Sign of the Triple Distelfink" (D97437). For some reason,
although they know what a "distelfink" is, they use for it a word that means
"a useful item that one finds by chance, especially a good quality product
sold at a very low price".
* An article titled "The Secret of Good Luck", subtitled "Don Rosa, Gladstone
and the Triple Distelfink.
* William Van Horn's "From Wince We Came" (D94207).
* Barks' "Forecast Follies" from Uncle Scrooge #16, starring Gyro Gearloose.
* An article titled "In the Comics Jungle", subtitled "Why and in what way is
a survival guide necessary..."

In answer to some recent queries:
*My e-mail address is above (I assume).
*I am working on a 28 page Donald Duck adventure for Egmont entitled "The
Three Caballeros Ride Again!", one I've been planning to do for about 10
years. After that (*months* from now), I'll begin doing a new "Lo$" story
for PICSOU (since Egmont says they don't want those anymore).
*As for that most recent U$ #179 sale on eBay -- I see the new auction-end
selling price is just a bit more than half of the previous one. It was
bought by the runner-up in the previous auction, a collector of Whitman
publications of any sort... not a comic or Disney or $crooge fan. And I
examined the list of bidders and their bids -- they are all "the usual
suspects" -- I see that the third bidder down the list is someone I know,
and he tells me that he erred when he placed that bid on someone else's
advice. Therefore, that means that regardless of what that second highest
bidder bids if he bids again on the next U$ #179 that shows on eBay in a
week or two, and if these other same people bid again (as is happening in
each auction), due to the fact that the other bids were *much* lower, the
comic will sell for about $100 (as that will be the runner-up bidder's
bid), which I'd say is a reasonable price. And this tempest in a teapot
will end. Which I'll be happy to see, because these eBay sellers are
placing editted quotes from *this* mailing list into their
auction-descriptions, using *us* to drive up the price of the bidding on
that freak comic, something that irritates me not a little.
(For any non-eBayers in the audience who are puzzled by some of the above,
the main point about eBay is that the winning bidder does *not* pay the
amount of his bid, but he simply pays one increment over the second-highest
bidder's bid, probably $1 or $2.50 at these levels. See?)
